E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To investigate the efficacy of multiple doses of intravenously (IV) administered bapineuzumab compared with placebo in subjects with mild to moderate AD as measured by both of the following: The change from baseline scores for the ADAS-Cog to week 78. The change from baseline scores for the DAD to week 78. The safety objective of this study is to assess the safety of multiple doses of IV administered bapineuzumab in subjects with mild to moderate AD versus placebo, including The incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Clinically important changes in safety assessment results (including, as appropriate, vital signs, weight, clinical laboratory tests, immune complex and complement tests, ECGs, brain MRI scans, and physical and neurologic examinations). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To investigate the safety and efficacy of multiple doses of intravenously (IV) administered bapineuzumab compared with placebo in subjects with mild to moderate AD as measured in scores from baseline to week 78 in the NTB and CDR-SOB (key secondary mesures). Safety objective include the incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and clinically important changes in safety assessment results. |
